Forecast discussion…
A strange week ahead with mostly cloudy skies and chances for snow showers almost every day, but very little accumulation in the valley. The best snow totals (and not much) will be today and Monday, but don’t look for much more than an inch in the valley and 2-4 inches in the mountains. A series of waves and troughs will drift through our area, but as of this post, look for possibly an additional 1-2 inches of snow through Friday.
